SEC Centre, Glasgow


by Simon McKee


Canon EOS 750D, 21mm, 2sec at f/4, ISO 100


Simon loves nothing
more than escaping
into the peace and
solitude of the
countryside, however
in this instance he
shot something
from the urban
environment. He lives
close to Glasgow and
is familiar with this
building, the SEC
Armadillo, from
attending various
music events there.
He certainly made
the most of the rather
damp conditions. See

Snowdrops by Jo Stephen


Sony Alpha 58, 90mm, 1/400sec at f/2.8, ISO 100


Jo is trained in ecology and wildlife conservation and uses
photography and cyanotype to document nature around her
home in rural Dorset. She says, ‘I wanted to capture the first
snowdrops of the year in Dorset after a long grey winter
break and found a group of very early flowers coming up in
the village churchyard. I shot them facing into the winter sun
from the ground with a wide aperture to maximise the
bokeh.’ She uploaded this to Twitter using #appicoftheweek.
She can be found on Twitter @JoAnnunaki.
